“My pregnancy really shook me. And it kind of took everything. It’s like everything else just wiped away. And I felt, for the first time, like…frozen in this moment in my life of like, ‘Who am I? What am I? What do I want? What do I believe in?’” Michele shared. “And faith and everything just kind of all came zeroing in on what matters the most. And finding strength that I never thought that I had or had to have.”
The 35-year-old singer welcomed her son Ever Leo in August 2020 with husband Zandy Reich.

She continued, “And then you see your baby. And I think, for me, it just has really grounded me and softened me in so many ways. And also just put so much perspective on what really matters and what I want the rest of my life to look like.”
The interview is featured in a special holiday episode of “The Hoda Show” which airs on Dec. 20 on SiriusXM’s TODAY Show Radio channel 108 and the SiriusXM app.
